This research study further clarifies the facts about video game violence.
The study involved 89 male participants who had little to no prior experience with violent video games. This specific selection was crucial to avoid any pre-existing desensitization to game violence.
Researchers used functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) sessions to observe changes in brain activity related to empathy. Additionally, behavioral data was collected to measure empathic responses more directly.

These finding are consistent with Stanford University and other studies that have debunked the links between video game violence and real world behavior.

The studies author, Lukas Lengersdorff, did note that there is more research to do. Study participants played only a fraction of violent games a real world player would play. However, taken in combination with other similar studies it is becoming clear that the likelihood that video game violence causes real violence is quite low.
